G.K. Makes a Today Show Appearance!

It’s hardly news anymore, but I’m still so proud of my beautiful Chow Chow, Ghenghis Khan, for winning Best of Breed at the 136th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. G.K. has only been competing since last autumn, but he has become quite the show dog. He displays such poise and even temperament and he really seems to understand what is expected of him. In honor of his achievement, my friends from The Today Show invited him to appear with me on my regularly scheduled time slot.

1 In honor of Ghenghis Khan winning Best of Breed at Westminster, we were invited to appear on the Today Show. It was G.K.'s first time at that studio and as usual, he was inquisitive about everything going on around him.

2 The Green Room was too busy and hot for G.K. so he took his water outside in the lobby. He was so popular and everyone kept stopping to stay 'hi' to him.

25 G.K. wasn't phased in the least by the crowd of people watching him. No wonder he did so well at Westminster!

26 I mentioned how fun the Westminster Dog Show is and urged everyone to go or to watch it on television.

27 Natalie Morales asked about any training that is involved. I explained that G.K. has been competing in dog shows since last autumn and has won many titles in order to qualify for Westminster.

28 Ann Curry wanted to know how we get Ghenghis Kahn's fur to stay like this. Although he does get groomed regularly Chow Chow's fur is naturally fluffy and tangle-resistant and is rather easy to maintain.
